22 ‘Arrested Development’ cameos fans might have forgotten

Ron Howard created Arrested Development and found no issue poking fun at himself or his life, so he cast Isla Fisher as his bagpipe-playing fictional daughter, Rebel Alley.

The Breaking Bad-turned-Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk is a longtime friend and comedy partner of Arrested Development’s David Cross, so it was like a little Easter egg for fans when he appeared as Cross’ character’s marriage counselor.

Heather Graham found herself on Arrested Development in a love triangle she was unaware of. George Michael and his dad, Michael, both wound up fancying her. Unfortunately for George Michael, his dad wound up dating his crush and ethics teacher for a minute.

It wasn’t hard for Conan O’Brien to get into character for his role on Arrested Development seeing as he just played himself.

Kitty Sanchez was a wild ride for the Bluth family. The personal assistant to George, as well as a woman he saw outside of his marriage, and the character who flashed people the most people.

Before he was on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Terry Crews found himself as a right-wing politician going head to head against Liza Minnelli’s Lucille Austero for Congress.

While Isla Fisher played a fictional daughter of Ron Howard on the show, Bryce Dallas Howard (Ron’s actual daughter) played herself and ultimately foiled her onscreen sister’s scheming ways.

Not too long before he was a paper salesman in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Ed Helms was a realtor who worked with the Bluth family a couple of times.

Who else could capture the wonder of a young Jessica Walter other than Kristen Wiig?

Fans of The Office know him as "Boom Mic Guy" who wanted to get a little too close to Pam. Before that and a stint on HBO's Silicon Valley, Chris Diamantopoulos was an activist and ostrich farmer named Marky Bark on Arrested Development.

Arrested Development had countless hilarious bits, but one of the best was Michael’s disdain for and utter confusion as to why his son would date the bland Ann, played by the insanely talented Mae Whitman.

Lucille Bluth had some interesting partners aside from her husband, including Dermot Mulroney’s Dusty Radler.

Garcelle Beauvais played the wife of Terry Crews on the show and later found herself in a situationship with Tony Hale’s Buster.

James Lipton stepped away from Inside the Actors Studio to portray a warden who doubled as a hopeful screenwriter.

Amy Poehler played Will Arnett’s wife for a minute on the show, but in real life, they were married 13 years before parting ways in 2016.

Girls Gone Wild videos were still all the rage when Arrested Development first aired, so to poke fun at the whole thing, they created Girls With Low Self-Esteem. Zach Braff played the creator of those videos not once but twice.

Jane Lynch continued to rock on Fox on Glee, but before then, she played a mole sent to get intel on George Bluth by pretending to be a fan of his named Cindi Lightballoon.

It's not uncommon for celebrities to appear as an over-the-top version of themselves. Neil Patrick Harris did so in Harold & Kumar, Bill Murray stole the show in Zombieland, and Carl Weathers did just the same every single time he appeared on Arrested Development as the less-than-stellar acting teacher David Cross hires.

When it comes to Julia Louis-Dreyfus and comedy, there is no missing. She played a lawyer who did not practice the ethics she was supposed to adhere to, as she faked being blind to get ahead in court and life.

Andy Richter appeared alongside Conan O’Brien and elsewhere in the series throughout its run.

There is absolutely no way the character Oscar-winner Charlize Theron played on Arrested Development would be on TV today. Maybe on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia — maybe. We’ll just leave it at that.

Alan Tudyk is best known for his role on Firefly and for his voice acting in everything from the Marvel universe to the Star Wars realm. However, he also has the Arrested Development world on his list, as he played bland Ann’s father, Pastor Terry Veal.
